text:

afar off, the thunder of the esptai3h and the
shouting.-Job sxXlk., 19, 2). b.

sermon is demanded of every minister i1
who would like to defend public th

"The horse's hoofs shall be

her cymbals and sings: "The horseand 0

Sgies almost seems to plagiarise from a
a this description in the text, so much t
are the descriptions alike-the de- e
ill scription of Virgil and the description '
of Job. The duke of Wellington would a
'at not allow any one irreverently to t
it touch his old war horse Copen- I
d hagen, on whom he ind ridden e
fifteen hours without dismounting a
at Waterloo, and when old Copenha- t
gen died his master ordered a military
salute fired over his grave. John
tloward showed that he did not ex- t
haust all his sympathies in pitying
the human race, for when sick he 1
writes home: "Has my old chaise

is hardly any passage of French litera- a
ture more pathetic than the lamenta- I
tion over the death of the war charger 1
Marchegay. Walter Scott has so
much admiration for this divinely I
honored creature of God that to
"'St. Roman's Well" he orders
the girth slackened and the I
blanket thrown over the smok- a
ing flanks. Edmand Burke, waltr
ing in the park at Beaconsfeld, mus- a
ing over the past, throws his arms I
around the worn-out horse of his dead I
son, Richard, and weeps upon the
horse's neck, the horse seems to sym- 1
pathixe in the memories. Rowland
Ilill, the great English preacher, was
cearicatured because in his family pray
ers he supplicated for the recovery of
a sick horse, but when the horse got
well, contrary to all the prophecies of
the farriers, the prayer did not seem
quite so much of an absurdity.
Bait what shall Isay of the maltreat
ment of this beautiful and wonderful
t creature of God? If Thomas Chal
mers in his day felt called upon to
preach a sermon agairnat cruelty to
animals, how much more in this day
is there a need of reprehensive di
eos~. All honor to Prof. Bergh, the
chitef postle for the brute ereation,
for th6 mercy he demanded and
achieved for the king of beasts. A
man who owned four thousand horses,
and some esy forty thousand, wrote
in the Jible.L "A righteous

ich the cavalry service does the most exe
de- cution, and as the battles of the
Ion world are probably not all past,
ald our Christian patriotism demands1
to that we be interested in equlnal veloc
en- Ity. We might as well have poorer
len guns in our arsenals and clumsier
lug ships in our navy yards than other na
ha- tions, as to have under our cavalry
ary saddles and before oar parks
)hn of artillery slower horses. From
ex- the battle of Granicus, where 1
ing the Persian horses drove the
he Macedonian infantry into the river,

iok- seven hundred men, overthew the Ro

ym- to be prepared for war, and there is no

ray- Our Christian patriotism and our in

eem we devealop his fleetness and his

S own son who was prect medicdae. All

gSaraperilla Sense.
Any sarsaparilla is sarsaparilla. True. So any
tea is tea. So any flour is flour. But grades differ.
You want the best. It's so with sarsaparilla. There
are grades. You want the best. If you understood
sarsaparilla as well as you do tea and flour it
would be easy to determine. But you don't. How
should you ?
When you are going to buy a commodity
whose value you don t know, you pick out an old
established house to trade with, and trust their
experience and reputation. Do so when buying
sarsaparilla.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla has been on the market
fifty years. Your grandfather used Ayer's. It is a
reputable medicine. There are many sarsaparillas.
But only one Ayer's. IT CURES.
